Hi Keak,
We used to run a cron job that ran a batch file that backed postgres up to a local dir and added the timestamp to the filename.
We ended up running the backup every 15 mins and it worked like a charm.
If you want an automated process that runs every day at a specified time then cron is what you need.
You are running on linux aren't you ?
